Stealth Double Posting

I'm not going to call out anyone on this individually, but this morning I noticed that a help topic was removed and then re-posted with a different name.

This is absolutely NOT allowed ever. It's a nothing more than a sneaky way to double post, and is immeasurably rude to other members who show patience and wait their turn. Any of these I see will be removed instantly without notice - as was the one from earlier today. Subsequent attempts to repost will result in the offending member being muted - also without notice. Meaning that not only will you lose privileges on the forum but will never receive help for whatever it is you had posted about.

Furthermore if I discover attempts to circumvent this with personal messages the offending member is gone from this forum, full stop.

An occasional bump to the original topic is fine. We all miss things sometimes and maybe you weren't seen or someone was going to get to you but forgot. Because this forum is largely instructional you are also free to resurrect old topics for further discussion. Just don't over do it and don't even think about the re-posting tactic above. This is the only warning I will give. Don't do it.

My apologies DC my intent wasn't to be sneaky but I get how it came across that way and obviously it upset you so again my apologies it won't be an issue going forward. No explanation or excuse necessary on my end, also my apologies to any members I may have irritated by my recent topics I do appreciate the help I get from you guys when you can so forgive my bad judgement
 
You don't need to apologize - it's nothing personal against you or anyone else. Besides, it wasn't just you anyway.

That said, it is a very important rule that must be followed and I will enforce. That's why I made a public announcement instead of targeting one person.

No offense taken I just knew I was a recent offender and I know your a easy going guy so for you to have felt the need to take action things were going in the wrong direction I've no issue with admitting mistakes or bad judgement decisions but I appreciate the gesture of not naming names
